''This eason tennis is having boom across

Such were the first consequences of the gem
action of freeing his slaves before the fed
erals were masters of the territory
Texar and his partisans were now in power
and could indulge in any deed of violence that
their brutal natures suggested By his vague
denunciationS the SpanIard had not been able
to put James Burbank in prison, but he had
gained his end none the less by taking advan-
tage of the excitement of the people at the con-
duct of the magistrates. After the acquittal of
the anti slavery planter. who was going to pro-
claim emancipation on the estate, Texar had
raised a crowd of macontents, and headed a
revolution in the town. He had superseded the
old magistrates by the most advanced members
of his party, formed committee of small whites
and Floridans of Spanish origin. and assured
himself of the cooperation of the militia, with
who at fraternized with the people, The
fate of every person in the county was now In
his hands.
James Burbank's conduct had not been an

banks of the St. Johns, who feared that their
own slaves would compel them to follow his ex-

Unonis.s, saw with extreme irritation the ad-
of the federal armies. and declared that
Florida should resist them as the other South-
ern States resisting them. At the outset
of the war they had treated the question of en-
franchisement with indifference. but they had
hastened to range themselves under the flag of
Jefferson Davis, and 10 do their utmost to sec
ond the efforts of the rebels against the govern

Under such circumstances there was little
wonder that Texar, having the same opinions
and interests to defend, should have succeeded

The Shooting of StonewaI jackson,

Adam Badeau, in August st. Nicholas.
After night fell. Stonewall jackson rode out
with his staff to reconnoiter in front of the line
he had gained. 1t his idea to stretch COM
pletely around in the rear of Hooker and cut him
off from the river
The night was dark and Jackson soon came
upon the Union lines Their infantry drove him
back. and he returned in the darkness, his
soldiers began firing at their commander,
of .course installing his party for the enemy
Jackson was shot in the hand and wrist, and the
upper at the time. His horse
turned, and the general lost his hold of
the bridle-rein; his cap was brushed
from his head by the branches; he
reeled. and was caught N the arms of an officer.
After moment he assisted to dismount,
his wound was examined. and a litter was
brought. Just then the Union artillery opened
again, and a murderous fire came down upon
the party through the woods and the darkness
One of the litter bearers stumbled and fell, and
the others were frightened; they laid the
litter the ground. the furious
storm of shot and she'll sweeping over them
like hail jackson attempted to rise, but his
aid de-camp held him down till the tempest of
fire wasluled. Then the wounded general was
helped to RISE aud walked few steps in the for
est, but he became faint and was laid again on
his litter. Once he rolled to the ground when
an assistant was shot, and the litter fell. just
then General Pender, one of his subordinates
passed; he stopped and said
Il hope you are not seriously hurt, General.
I fear shall have to retire my troops, they are
much broken"
But jackson looked up at once, and exclaimed
"You must hold your ground, General Pen
DER you must hold your ground, sir!'
This the last order he ever gave. He was
borne distance to the nearest house. and
examined by the surgeon; and. after midnight,
his left arm amputated at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his most trusted lieu
tenant had been wounded, he greatly is
treSSed for the relations between them were al
most tender
jackson has lost his left arm, said Lee, :.but

General Pemberton, being Northern man
commanding Southern army, was not AT thu
same liberty to surrender an army that a man
OF Southern birth would be. In diversity de-
feat he became object of suspicion, and felt
it. Bowen was Southern man all over. and
knew the garrison at Vlcksburg had to sur

stop further effuson of blood by surrendering.
He did all he could to bring about that result
Pemberton is mistaken in several p nts. It
was Bowen that proposed that he and A 4.

The Appeal of Realism to the Uncultured

Arlo, Bates in August Scribner-
That the popularity and the influence of the
modern realistic school are generally both some
what overestimated seems true, vet there are
obvious reasons why it is to be expected that
the error should be widely received. Unculti
waited and unimaginative people find simple
and innocent pleasure in the recognition of the
objects which an artist has made the
language of mis- thought, and in detecting in
them any sort of familiarity. Who has not at
art-exhibitions seen the guelessly silly women
who eagerly point ont one thing after another
with the pathetically naive EXPLANATIONS see,
there is cow!" why that is Bunscome's
barn!' "Oh do look If here isn't
the public garden !" It is to precisely
this feeling. natural enough, but surely
not artlstcally apreciative, that so-calledreaism
chiefly appeals 1t pleases the sluggish mind
of the intellectual boureeoisie to discover
balmed in print trifes which obvious enough
to be familiar to their understanding, and
small enough to come within the limits of their
comprehension. It eratifes their childish vanity
with all the of original discovery to find
in the pages of novel precisely the
words a nextdoor neighbor said this morning
The words may have especial significance,
beauty, no relevancy, but these worthy people
know what they and feel the rare JOY of ap-

ture would be utterly denied them; emotion
SO shallow and absolutely unpsthetic to be
as far beneath the dignity of art the joy of
an idiot over a bunch of windlestraws. Small
beer for small souls" would be a inappro-
pirate motto for these catalogues of common
place nothings, recorded with painful minute
